You got a new big boy bed!!!
You became a big brother!!!
You said goodbye to your friends at Little Peoples to stay home with Mommy!!!
You went back to Ocean Lakes for your 1/2 birthday!!!
You learned how to swim by yourself with your puddle jumpers!!!
You went to Disney World!!!
You met Mickey!!!
You rode a pony at Riverbanks Zoo!!!
You rode all the rides at the fair!!!
You had your first 2HD preschool field trip to the pumpkin patch!!!
You were Mickey Mouse for Halloween!!!
And now YOU ARE THREE!!!

A few more things…
You can say just about anything and everything.  Sometimes you amaze me and your daddy with all the things you know and understand.  Right now, my favorite thing you say is, "Mommy, hey, I got an idea!"  It's so cute :)  You know all your colors and you can count to 20.  You have a great memory and you like to know "what's next".  You still love books and pretend to read all the time.  You are beginning to understand that words "say something" and you ask "what does that say" all the time :)  Of course, that makes mommy happy!  One of your favorite books this year was called Bugs in my Hair by David Shannon.  You love to sing and jump!!! You love spiderman--although any super hero will do!  You can ride your tricycle all by yourself.  You are potty trained (except poop…still working on that…you are so stubborn!)  You have watched your first movie which was Monsters University and your second movie was Frozen.  You love SWEETS…cookies, cupcakes, ice cream!  You are super to your little sister and she lights up when you play with her!  You can make her giggle the most and I love that you love her so much!  These past 3 years have been the best and I look forward to learning more with you and watching you grow! I'm just so happy God let me be your Mommy :)

Happy Birthday Dylan!

Mommy, Daddy and Delaney love you soooooooooo much!!!!

Delaney is 7 months old!

On November 17, 2013 
Delaney turned 7 months old!
Here she is…

A few stats...
Weight: Maybe 21lbs
Height: ??
Head: ??
Eye color:  Grey/Brown
Hair color: light brown

My juicy baby ;)

Sleeping:  Bedtime is at 7pm and Delaney likes to wake up anytime between 6 and 7.  She naps twice a day.  Her morning nap is usually around 8 or 9 and she will nap for about 45 min.  Her afternoon nap is usually around 1:30 and she will nap 1-2 hours.
Feeding:  We are back on track with nursing…thankfully.  (For all you pumping moms out there…way to go!)  It is so much easier to nurse than pump!  And breastfeeding is much more affordable for us than buying formula!!!  Delaney is nursing about 5-6 times a day usually 7am, 10am, 1pm, 3:30pm, 5:30pm and 7pm.  It doesn't take long for her to nurse.  She's usually done in about 5 minutes or so!  She eats oatmeal and 1/2 a tub of fruit for breakfast around 8am, veggies for lunch at 12pm and rice cereal and the rest of the fruit for dinner at 6pm.  She loves to snack on Mum-Mums!  When she sees me getting her food ready for breakfast, lunch or dinner she gets so excited and then mad when I don't give it to her fast enough!!!  Ha!  She loves to eat :)
Clothes:  She's wearing 9 month clothing and some 12 months.
Fun Facts:  She can sit up like a champ now!  She can clap!  She can wave and say bye-bye! When she smiles, it lights up the room :)

Happy 7 months baby girl!
Mommy, Daddy and big brother Dylan love you very much :)
